When Disha Patani's backless outfit made news

Internet trolling has become a modern day fad everyone has been a part of these days. But have we gone too far? Has internet become the new haven of body shamers, sexists and the worst of all, slut shamers? Social media trolls over time have only proliferated, giving every Tom, Dick and Harry a space to mock women on the basis of their looks, body and fashion. Let's not even talk about religion and the so-called sanskars here.

Recently, Disha Patani was slut-shamed for her backless jumpsuit. She posted her photo on Instagram, where the cyber-bullies trolled her for the backless outfit - from shaming comments like 'sharam kar' to men justifying sexual assault - 'this is why rape happens in India'. We have only one thing to say, she looked absolutely stunning.

Why aren't men blamed for their habits and women are always held accountable? No matter how many rights we get, women always go through constant critique. The unfair standards for women are often reflected in the glam world of Bollywood.

Be it Priyanka Chopra's case, who wore a dress, actually, a pretty decent dress for a meeting India's PM and got many sexist remarks. She was trolled for showing her legs and even crossing them in front of Narendra Modi. She was slammed by the traditionalists for her attire.

That's not it, actresses are often trolled for their bodies too. 'Lipstick Under My Burkha' actor Aahana Kumra was shamed for wearing a bikini. Why? According to the trollers, her belly fat was too much!?

Not so long ago, another actress was shamed, this time mom- and age-shamed. Yes, we're talking about Malaika Arora Khan, who wore a stunning corset dress. The black dress even had a floor-length cape hung on her shoulders. She got comments like - 'dress is not for her age', 'what her son would think of her dress' and that she is going through 'menopause' and a dress is like this is not suitable for her age.

We believe India is a free country, but why are women still fighting for their equal rights? You won't see John Abraham getting trolled for just wearing shots at a beach or an actor shamed for smoking and drinking. No matter how modern we are, the perceptions haven't changed. Women are often objected on their choices of career, lifestyle and of course, clothes. It's a shame that we have come a long way and we're still very behind in our thoughts and judgments.
